Two people were shot in southeast Newport News on Tuesday night, according to Newport News police.

Spokesman Randal Bailey said in a news release that police and medics were called to the 700 block of 34th Street, in the area of Marshall Courts Apartments, around 8:20 p.m. There, they found a 28-year-old Newport News man with a gunshot wound to his chest that Bailey said was considered life-threatening.

Moments later, medics also responded to the 3500 block of Wickham Avenue, a couple of blocks away. There, Bailey said they found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his leg that was not considered life-threatening.

Although they were found at different places, Bailey said investigators believe they were shot in the same location but fled in different directions.

Police didn’t release any information about suspects or where the shooting might have happened. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
